Acid Stained Concrete and Overlays!
What is
Acid Stain?
Acid
Stain is not a paint or coating agent - it is a
coloring process
involving a chemical reaction on a cementitious
material. A
solution made with water, acid and inorganic salts reacts with
minerals already
present in the concrete; the result of this reaction is color.
Acid Stains give concrete a mottled, variegated, marble-like
look. Never expect Acid Stain to be uniform or
have an
even tone, there will be different reactions from slab to
slab, and
even on the same job there may be different coloration
patterns.
Variations of colors and mottling are to be expected and
enjoyed. It is the unique random coloration of the
stain that
gives an Acid Stained floor it's charm. Acid Stain can be applied
to new
or old concrete, interior or exterior. Sometimes a skimcoat or overlay
is first
applied to give a new canvas to color.
In addition to the beauty, ease of maintenance and the benefit of a
dust free surface, Stained Concrete is also a Flood-Resistant
surface. This means that if your home suffers water
damage, all
you need do is clean the mess and apply a new coat of wax and
the floor is looking good again. There is no
huge mess of
soggy carpet or pads to clean out.
